Helping Kids Whose Behavior Is Not Normal
Is your child developmentally on track? It can be hard to know if you
don’t have many other similarly aged children for comparison.
Teachers, pediatricians, and child psychologists can provide insight
based on all the other children they see.
Although all children are on a similar developmental path, they progress
in their own way. Some babies are walking at 6 months and others not
until 18 months. As long as your child is walking by 18 months, there
is no reason for concern.
Your child’s developmental milestones can be looked at on a bell curve.
Your child may excel in one area but be behind in another area. For
example, maybe your child can read but doesn’t play with other kids.
